Looking forward to going to my first show as a boat owner. I hope to pick up some items at a good price. Still shopping for a place to slip on Lake Michigan. I know dlandersson is going, anyone else? Would be great to meet the area Mac owners in person. Divecoz, are you still in Illinois?

My wife will be up there on the Saturday! Come by the Good Old Boat booth Saturday morning where we'll be hanging out. I'd enjoy putting faces on fellow Mac sailors! That was half the fun of JMGT-2011...putting faces to names I've seen along with seeing three Mac models in person!

Doug,
I'll look for you there. I'll be wearing a blue shirt with "YB Normal" printed on it on it.
PM me as to where you're staying.

Great! I'll PM you. I'll probably be wearing a Blue polo shirt with a Galactica sailing logo on it.

I have never seen a Mac at the show. This year it's all about accessories, destinations and add-ons for me. Of course I'll switch to dream mode and walk on a few boats to.

There hasn't been a Mac dealer at the show for over 5 years.
A dealer from Indiana nor Michigan was there at that time. I spoke to him
at the show, and he was mad that other area Mac dealers were sending their prospects to
his booth to look at the 28M before buying from them. He felt all the area dealers should've
chipped in on the cost of the booth (Which I agree.).

I'd like to see the dealers get together and do that. I feel it would be good for the current owners
as well as MacGregor AND the dealers.

The lady just took a small sloop rigged boat and put our boat name below it. Now a Macgregor image with boat name below would be cool! 8)
